Audio/Data mode

In data mode, all digital level processing is disabled in the driver to ensure adigital stream free of any sample modification. This mode must be used toplay non-PCM audio data on the digital output (Dolby AC-3 for instance).

Do not listen to the analog output in such a case, as clicking may causedisturbing noises!

Digital format

Sets the digital format of the digital output in real time: AES/EBU(professional) or S/PDIF (consumer).

Nominal Out and Headroom Out

Sets the nominal line output level and the available headroom duringplayback at nominal level. Addition of headroom and nominal level must notexceed the maximum output level of the board (+22 dBu).

: The sum of Nominal Out plus Headroom Out defines the equivalence

between the maximum analog level and the maximum digital level(0 dBfs).

Nominal In and Headroom In

Sets the nominal input level for recording and the available headroom whilerecording at nominal level. Addition of headroom and nominal level must notexceed the maximum input level of the board (+10 dBu or +22 dBu,depending on the position of the jumper (SW1, cf. appendix) on the board).

: The VX222v2 does not dispose of an adjustable analog input gain. Amodification of Nominal In or Headroom In applies the digital input gain.

On VX222v2, the sum of Nominal plus Headroom must be situatedbetween -8 dBu and +10 dBu if the jumper is in "-10" position (=absent),or between +4 dBu and +22 dBu if the jumper is in "+4" position (=on theboard).

The sum of Nominal In plus Headroom In defines the equivalence betweenthe maximum analog level and the maximum digital level (0 dBfs).

ASIO CONTROL PANEL FOR PC

The purpose of this control panel is to set all the parameters of your Digigramcard when used with its ASIO2 driver. It must be launched from the ASIOcompatible application you use.

Detected Digigram boards are displayed in the left upper corner with theirserial number and their I/O stereo pairs. General settings of the selected cardare displayed in the right upper corner. IN and OUT settings of the selected

device are displayed underneath.

Active stereo I/O

It is recommended to activate only the required I/Os in order to save CPUresources.

Clock

The clock corresponds to the digital bit clock to which the card refers.

When an analog input is selected, the c s can be either the internalclock or taken from the digital input. As soon as the digital input is selected,the clock is read from this input.

The flip menu allows selecting the sampling frequency of theselected card: 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz. It must be set according to the samplingfrequency of the project you are working on.

Sample size

Defines the number of bits per sample. It must be set in accordance with thesample size of the project you are working on.

Digital output

Defines the format of the digital output signal:

Consumer (S/PDIF) or

Professional (AES/EBU).

Level settings

Click on the tab of the I/O device you want to set. Leaving the mouse pointera few seconds on a slider shows the available settings range (tooltip box). Theexact setting value is displayed near each slider.

Input

The flip box allows switching between the different types of input: line ordigital.

For any input type, a digital gain can be added to the signal, if necessary. Itsdefault position is in front of the bold dot (0 dB).

All these input settings apply on both channels of the selected stereo device.


25/32

VX222v2Users Manual

Output

Theplayback digital control applies a digital gain to the selected output (i.e. towhat the application plays, including the software monitoring). It can be setfor each channel of the selected device, or for both channels at the same timeby clicking the Link box. This gain applies to both digital and analog outputs.Its default position is in front of the bold dot.

The analog output gain can be set for each channel, or for both channels atthe same time by clicking the Link box. This gain only applies to the analogoutputs. Its default position is in front of the bold dot, unless you use

headphones. In this case, decrease the levels of analog outputs 1 & 2 toprevent you from hearing damage.

Monitoring

ASIO applications basically use two monitoring modes: software monitoringand hardware monitoring (the latter also known as ASIO direct monitoring).

In software monitoring mode, the recorded signal is immediately played back,just as if it were read from the hard disk. This allows monitoring througheffects for instance, but induces latency that can be annoying to the recordingmusician. In hardware monitoring mode, the recorded signal is directlyrouted from the inputs to the outputs of the card without passing throughyour audio application, avoiding the latency in the monitoring path.

The monitoring slider controls the hardware monitoring level (ASIO directmonitoring) but does not control the software monitoring. Its default positionis in front of the bold dot. It can be set independently for each channel. ASIO

compliant applications featuring ASIO direct monitoring control this leveldirectly using their integrated mixer.

Time Error Compensation

Audio data transfer may suffer from buffer underrun, in most cases due totemporary CPU overload.

To avoid the loss of synchronization between input and output signals, clickon the button and select:< >

This option can only fix a limited amount of errors. Too many errorsoccurring will result in a loss of sound quality.To avoid errors, reduce CPU load.
